Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b----' before shooting

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

Chicago Sun-Times

#BodyCamera video of a #BorderPatrol agent involved in the #shooting of a woman who was allegedly chasing agents in Brighton Park shows an officer saying, “Do something, bitch,” before pulling over & shooting the woman 5 times, the woman’s atty said in federal court Monday.

The video appears to contradict the govt’s allegation that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire on her late Sat morning…, her attorney, Christopher Parente, said at a detention hearing….

U.S. District Judge Heather McShain denied a request by the federal government to detain Martinez & Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, 21, pending trial. Martinez & Ruiz, who wore orange jumpsuits for the detention hearing, were charged Sunday with felony assault of a federal officer.

The judge said it “is a miracle to me that no one was more seriously injured” in the incident in which Martinez & Ruiz allegedly followed agents for more than 20 mins as they drove after conducting an operation in Oak Lawn. But she said the defendants’ lack of criminal history & extensive family & community ties compelled her to release them pending trial.

Martinez’s attorney, Parente, offered to play an agent’s body-camera video that shows the #shooting, noting that prosecutors did not show the video that he claimed disputes the government’s version of the shooting.

Parente said the video shows an agent turn a federal vehicle left into Martinez’s vehicle, after which an agent says, “Do something bitch.” The agent then exits the vehicle & shoots at Martinez.

Parente said Martinez has “seven holes” in her from the #shooting & that agents were in such a hurry to take her into custody at the hospital that they had to return later when Martinez began bleeding from her wounds.

Parente disputed the govt’s claim that Martinez is a danger to the community & should be detained, saying instead that the officer who shot her was a threat.

“I think there’s a danger to the community, but I don’t think it’s Ms. Martinez,” he said.

Martinez is a #US #citizen, works for a school & had several supportive letters about her character filed with the court, Parente said. Ruiz is also a US citizen & self-employed as a deejay, his attorney, Ben Horowitz, said.

The shooting on Saturday led to a heated confrontation between federal agents & nearly 100 #protesters. It was one of several protests that have flared up since the #Trump admin kicked off “Operation Midway Blitz” last month.

After the shooting, Martinez drove herself to Big Rig Oil Pros at 35th St & California Ave, parked her bullet-riddled Nissan SUV in the parking lot & walked inside, the shop manager told the Sun-Times Monday.

Employees led a bleeding Martinez to a chair in the shop’s office, said the manager, who asked not to be named.

A trucker at the shop called 911 as workers frantically grabbed blue shop towels & patches to place on her wounds, the manager said. The shop manager called 911 & said, “Send somebody quick because this lady is bleeding profusely. ... I mean, it was instant puddles.”

#Chicago #Police & paramedics showed up a few minutes later, he said. As paramedics placed tourniquets on Martinez’s leg & arm, a bullet fell out of her arm & onto the shop’s floor, the manager said. She left in an ambulance. #FBI investigators then arrived & placed red tape around the area where Martinez had sat & around her car, the manager said.

They processed the scene for half an hour, then the shop workers cleaned up the blood, he said.

@Nonilex "The video appears to contradict the govt’s allegation that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers"
Translation: lying to cover up their guilt, ICE issued a false statement.

Darth Osler Oct 7

@Nonilex sounds like I need to stock up on surgical supplies

Have any of the agents been named? The shooter, for example.

@Nonilex governors have failed to protect their citizens from a treasonous federal assault

Burning Joint USA Oct 7

When are governors going to start raising militias to start arresting these racist MAGA thugs? We need a response that looks even just a little like defending ourselves. So far nothing from Dems as usual.

The apocalypse looks different than I'd expected.

But also the same.

The 'authorities' leading the way.

Still hard to accept its our own.

@Nonilex They're not #BorderPatrol any more, just more #Gestapo goons like #ICE 🤬

@TheNovemberMan @Nonilex they never were anything else.

Before ICE became the Proud Boys, CBP was already a cesspool of racist thugs.

@faraiwe @Nonilex Truth

And these lies are not surprising, agitation and creating precedents…

@Nonilex The first instinct of fascists is to lie. A lot of the rest follows from that.
